. SPECIFICATION forming vpart of Letters Patent No. 264,944, datedSeptember 2:6, 1882.

Application 'tiled April 1l, 1882. (No model.)

To all rwhom it may concern Be it known that 1,' MosEs GREENEBAUM, ofthe city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have inventedan Improved Pants and Overalls; and I hereby declare the follow.-` ingto be a i'ull, clear, and exact description thereof. A

My invention relates to certain improvements in pants oroveralls forboys7 and mens wear; and it consists in a novel method of cutting,whereby the crotch-seam is strengthened, all of which will be more fullyexplained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lshows the manner in which the front of the overalls is cut in one piece.Fig. 2 illustrates the manner of folding the fly. Fig. 3 is a furtherillustration of the same. Fig. 4 shows one ot' the backs and the frontwith which it is cut. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the completedgarment.

My invention is particularly adapted to goods having only one finishedsurface.

I cut'the overalls with the fronts A A lying in the same direction, anintermediate portion or strip, b, being formed4 between the legs as thegoods arel cut, as shown in Fig. l. This portion b is then folded upbetween the legs. Afold is made through its center, and it is alsofolded down upon the two sides, (see dotted lines,) thus completing thefinish, as before described. (Shownin Fig. 2.) In cutting thefronts withthe strip b attached a point, which is usually cut with the fronts toextend beneath and with the backs from the crotch-seam, is cut oif.

In order to compensate for this and produce the proper slope or ii't atthe crotch, the backs D are cutwith a long point or projection at c, sothat when the legs are brought together to be stitched these points comejust under the fold of the strip b, thus making the iinish of the insideseam considerably farther forward than in ordinary methods ofconstruction, and giving it the benelit of the fold of the strip b as aninsidere-en force,in addition toiany which may be applied upon theoutside. It gives a better tit and removes the seam to a point forwardof that where the strain is greatest, so that the point of greateststrain is across whole cloth.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters I Patent, is i l. The im proved method ofcutting thefronts of overalls, consisting of cutting them with the.- fronts lyingin 'the same direction, the piece b formed between the leg portions, andthe front slit to form the fly, substantially as described.

2. In overalls or pantaloons having their fronts cut in one piece, thefronts A, having a part thereof, and the elongated extensions c,

' cut with the backs, said pants beingI sewed to gether substantially asherein described.l

In witness whereof I hereto set my hand.
